From One Day more, to Seth Macfarlane hosting, to Anne Hathaways nipple dress, I've enjoyed it. And I haven't enjoyed the Oscars in a long time. As much as I'm a Ricky Gervais fan, I haven't really liked what the host is doing since Billy Crystal until now.

There you go, Scrapbot. Is my Signature small enough now? Will you finally shut up, you automated pretentious &##(@)!?

I think Seth McFarlane is capable of judging the audience to know what is/isn't the level of good comedy.

And the Oscars having more prestige than the Golden Globes, he knows to push the boundary but not Gervais it.

that was really well said. I couldn't agree more. Sadly I lack the eloquence to have put it that way. lol

Instead I shall sit here and be sad that The Life of Pi wasn't about an actual pie..... I knew I should have seen that movie before getting excited about just a title.

Sadly, there will never be another Billy Crystal when it comes to hosting. No one can come close. If anything, I feel a bit bad for post Billy hosts. The stress of trying to fill those shoes must be overwhelming.....

David Niven was a classic, but yes in the modern era Billy Crystal is just a brilliant host. Personally I'd love to see someone like Robin Williams give it a shot, I can't help but think he'd be perfect.
